AUTHOR'S PREFACE 

In issuing this book, the desire is not to 
create any new sect or creed, but simply to 
explain scientifically the Bible, in a humble 
way, for I am but a fellow-servant of the 
people. 

In all ages the esoteric work of the Bible 
has been shrouded in mystery. I dedicate 
this volume to the Light of the Spirit which 
illumines the pathway of man in his steps 
through the ages. 

The Bible has ever been a lamp to the 
feet (Understanding), a guide to the path- 
way (Life). 

Jesus said the time has come when that 
which was secret should be taught, and that 
which was hidden should be brought to light ; 
that is the mission of this volume. 

JOHN DEW, 
Known as " Kelpa"

CHAPTER I 



CONCENTRATION 



THE principles gained in concentration 
are of untold value to the student, who 
cannot appreciate any work of an inner nature 
until his brain has been awakened from its 
condition of mental obscuration, and brought 
into a high perception of light. 

The first creation described in Genesis is 
elementary — physical — and has no sugges- 
tion of Adam. Therefore it was the expres- 
sion of the All-Force known as Elohim. 

The second creation occurs in the Sabbath 
or Silence, and is known as the Law (Lord) 
or Law God, the law of the All-Force or 
Elohim. 

Great care must be taken by the student 
in the practice of concentration, as the change 
of physical and nerve structure depolarizes 
7 



Concentration 



and reasserts the brain action. Each student 
must observe the law of cleanliness, and 
abstain from all intoxicants, living a pure 
life, not only physically, but mentally and 
morally also. 

" And the Lord God formed man of the 
dust of the ground, and breathed into his 
nostrils the breath of life ; and man became 
a living soul." (Genesis ii. 7.) 

The brain of man is the Garden of Eden. 
The Law of God formed man from the dust 
of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils 
the breath of life, and man became a living 
soul. 

The Adam that was created by the Law 
was the right lobe of the brain ; the Eve that 
was created by the Law was the left lobe of 
the 4 brain ; the right being known as the 
physical will, the left as the sympathetic will. 

Our first object in concentration is to 
equalize these two lobes of the brain ; so, in 
order to put Adam to sleep and awaken Eve, 
you take a white card about one foot square, 
and make a round black spot in the centre 
8 



Concentration 



of it about the size of a silver dollar ; place 
i the card at an easy distance from the eye, 
directly in front of you ; sit on a chair and 
place both feet squarely on the floor, having 
no rubbers on or anything that would insulate 
the forces from passing up through the feet. 
Closing the right nostril with the middle fin- 
ger of the right hand, leaving the teeth apart 
and the lips closed, inhale and exhale through 
the left nostril, counting an inhalation and 
an exhalation as one breath. 

Breathe thirty breaths the first day, sixty 
breaths the second day, and eighty breaths 
the third day : continue with eighty breaths, 
concentrating two, three, four, or five times 
a day, until the concentration becomes per- 
fected. As you look at the black spot, you 
will see a white light form around it, this 
light being known to the mystic as the " soul 
light." All colors and shades that appear in 
this light on the card of concentration are 
the different vibrations of the senses that are 
being expressed by you at the time of concen- 
tration. Should you wish to know what your 
9 



Concentration 



astral colors are, concentrate, and the differ- 
ent expressions of color that are then indi- 
cated will give you the astral color which you 
represent at that time, the deep colors being 
the physical sense vibrations, and the light, 
astral. 

Should any forms, faces, flowers, land- 
scapes, or other objects be depicted to you 
in this white light at the time of concentra- 
tion, it is the effect of your thought made 
manifest on the card. The brain receives 
pictures after the same manner that a camera 
produces a negative, and when a student com- 
mences to concentrate by this method, all 
previous impressions of faces, forms, thoughts, 
etc., that have been impressed on his brain in 
daily life, will come up before him in rapid 
succession, misleading the student of psycho- 
logy into thinking that they are the souls of 
the departed. 

When this white light stands perfectly still, 
and the thought that you wish to make mani- 
fest at the moment appears in perfect form 
in the white light, it is known to the mystic 
lO 



Concentration 



as "Joshua making the sun stand still." 
Joshua x. 13 : " And the sun stood still, 
and the moon stayed, until the people had 
avenged themselves upon their enemies." 
It is the thoughts being impressed upon the 
brain, producing a negative, giving the pic- 
ture in the white light in the same manner 
that a stereopticon lantern throws the pic- 
tures upon a screen. 

In other words, this gives the student 
power to stay his reflection, in order to de- 
stroy evil thoughts, superstitions, fears, and 
passions, the enemies of all truth. 

In the 12th chapter of First Corinthians, 
verses 1, 2, and 3, we read this utterance 
of Paul : " Now concerning spiritual gifts, 
brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away 
unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 
Wherefore I give you to understand, that 
no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth 
Jesus accursed: and that no man can say 
that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy 
Ghost." 

11 



Concentration 



As Paul had gathered a number of people 
together and was teaching the mystic law, 
this chapter refers entirely to the develop- 
ment of soul. So he tells them : " Where- 
fore I give you to understand, that no man 
speaking by the spirit of God calleth Jesus 
accursed : and that no man can say that Jesus 
is the law (the Lord), but by the Holy Ghost." 

His reference to Gentiles being carried away 
unto dumb idols means the man not centred, 
following dumb mental form, that reproduces 
no living results. The clause, u No man 
speaking by the spirit of God calleth Jesus 
accursed," refers to men who depreciate the 
physical body, that cannot be too well ex- 
pressed, and " No man can say that Jesus is 
the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost," will be 
understood by those who remember that Ether 
is the Holy Ghost. 

" And I saw another mighty angel come 
down from heaven, clothed with a cloud : 
and a rainbow was upon his head, and his 
face was as it were the sun, and his feet as 
pillars of fire : And he had in his hand a 
12 



Concentration 



little book open : and he set his right foot 
upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth." 
(Revelation x. 1, 2.) 

This tenth chapter of Eevelation gives a 
description of the sixth angel coming down 
from heaven, setting his right foot on the 
sea, and his left foot on the earth. The 
Holy Ghost, known as the third person of 
the Holy Trinity, is the fourth dimension 
of the earth trinity, a force that is known as 
Ether. This Ether is represented by John, 
in Revelation, as being the force of the left 
foot set upon the earth. The force of elec- 
tricity, which is the fourth dimension of the 
water trinity, known as the Son or second 
person in the Holy Trinity, is positive in the 
right foot, rising up to the solar plexus and 
making a negative of the left foot. 

In order that the left foot shall no longer 
be a negative to electrical energy, you must 
take a small bandage of white cotton cloth, 
about three feet long and two inches wide, dip 
it into cold water just before retiring, and 
bandage the left ankle with it every night 
13 



Concentration 



until "Joshua makes the sun stand still." 
This electricity is magnetism in the physical 
body, and wearing the bandage on the left 
ankle stops the negative and sends Ether 
through the left limb up to the right breast, 
and then to the left brain. 

Magnetic energy is the mental darkness 
that must be thrown off of the brain, as that 
is " the great dragon " referred to in Revela- 
tion xii. 9 : " The great dragon was cast out, 
that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan." 

This method of concentration will bring 
you the power of the Holy Ghost, for Elec- 
tricity and Ether are the two witnesses known 
as the two olive trees and the two candle- 
sticks mentioned in Revelation xi. 4 : " These 
are the two olive trees, and the two candle- 
sticks standing before the God of the earth." 

When we have, through thorough and long- 
continued concentration, planted the two olive 
trees and lighted, in the brain, the candles 
of power and prophecy, we shall no longer 
need a Master, as all will be revealed to us 
within.

CHAPTER II 

MEDITATION 

MEDITATION is the mode of obtaining 
power to silence the upper brain. In 
order to meditate properly, the student must 
first sit on a chair (one with a wooden bot- 
tom is preferable), with both feet planted 
firmly on the floor, the spine erect and clear 
of any obstruction of the chair back. Should 
the person be physically weary, he will first 
place the hands, palms downward, on the 
knees, and sit quietly for from three to five 
minutes before entering into concentration 
with the card. This position is shown in the 
statues of Egypt, and is known as the mag- 
netic meditation. 

Then the student should take the concen- 
tration as directed in the first chapter, after 
which sit perfectly quiet, turning the palms of 
15 



jEetittatton 



the hands upward as they rest upon the knees, 
and under no circumstances allowing the chin 
to project forward ; it should be held in. 

In a short time the student will become 
conscious of the ether that will produce a 
relaxation of the mental qualities and bring 
about a state of perfect bliss. It is the 
aim, in meditation, to clear the mind of all 
thought of the physical, all human desires, 
and make the upper brain perfectly oblivious 
of surrounding objects. This can be accom- 
plished by the student in from six to nine 
months by steady practice ; to some it will 
become a fact in from two to three months. 

The student should never sit in the dark, 
either for concentration or meditation, as 
such practices bring on a species of insanity, 
or other conditions that are very undesirable, 
as they are known to the Masters as the 
Children of Darkness. 

These meditations should be taken at least 

as often as morning and evening, the time 

consumed not necessarily over fifteen or 

twenty minutes at one sitting. To breathe 

16 



the magnetic energy, you poise on the right 
foot and vibrate the left foot, forming a 
half circle from front to back, thus loosen- 
ing the joints and creating new circulation ; 
then poise on the left foot, repeating the 
exercise with the right. This practice should 
be done at any time during the day, accom- 
panied by the ether breathing. To breathe 
ether, place the arms at the side, palms of 
the hands inward, and vibrate the hands and 
raise the arms until you have them level with 
the shoulders, raising and lowering them for 
from one to three minutes. This is as much 
exercise as is necessary for students to take 
beyond the walking they do while going 
through their daily duties. 

When the student has achieved the power 
to retire into himself and silence the physical 
thoughts and desires that keep him constantly 
in a state of inharmony, then he has learned 
to " enter into his closet " and close the door, 
thus communing with the Father, in Spirit 
and in Truth.

THE HOLY TBINITY 

THE Holy Trinity consists of the Holy 
Four : first, Fire ; second, Water ; 
third, Earth ; and fourth, Air. This Trinity 
deals with Alchemy, not Chemistry. Al- 
chemy is the transmutation of the gases 
through the kingdom of the elements, fire ; 
the kingdom of the minerals, water; the 
kingdom of the earth, expressing in the 
kingdom of the air (fourth dimension). 

Our First Trinity, Fire, represents the 
different periods during which the planet was 
forming through evolution. This age may 
have been billions or trillions of years in 
duration, but whatever its length, it is repre- 
sented in Genesis as from the evening to the 
morning, or from the darkness to the light. 
Correspondent in the gases are : oxygen

(fire in the elements) ; hydrogen (water in 
the elements) ; and nitrogen (earth in the ele- 
ments). These three gases make the fourth 
dimension — the atmosphere. In " The Book 
of the Dead " of Egypt, these are known as 
Isis, Issis, Horus, and Osiris; known, also, 
in the Vedics of India as Brahma, Vishnu, 
Siva, and Atma. 

In the Old Testament, we have them repre- 
sented as Shadrach, the son of fire ; Meshach, 
the son of water ; and Abednego, the son of 
earth. When these three were in the fiery 
furnace, heated seven times (the seven physi- 
cal senses), they found there the angel, which 
was the soul expressed, or the fourth dimen- 
sion, therefore they were always known as 
the elements, as of God the Father, the First 
Person in the Trinity. 

In the Second Age or Trinity, we have 
as correspondent to fire, sulphur. We find 
in sulphur that fire has been transmuted 
from the kingdom of the elements to the 
kingdom of the minerals, in the form of 
sulphur ; therefore the molecules of sul- 

19 



Cije flolp Crtnttp 

phur fuse directly with the molecules of 
oxygen. 

We find that salt is the mineral which 
transmutes the water from the kingdom of 
the elements to the kingdom of the minerals ; 
therefore it is the great neutral with sulphur 
as a positive and mercury as a negative, mer- 
cury being correspondent to the earth. 

To these we have a fourth dimension 
known as electricity. Magnetism is the same 
force as electrical energy, both being one, 
and known as the Fourth Dimension, or the 
Son, — the Second Person in the Trinity. 
It is known also as the sea upon which 
John's sixth angel set his foot. (Revelation 
x. 2.) 

The soul color of Sulphur is Indian Yel- 
low ; of Salt, Ultramarine Blue ; and of Mer- 
cury, Chinese Vermilion. These are the 
three primary colors. 

The Trinity of the Earth Kingdom is : 
positive, Male, which is correspondent to 
sulphur and fire; neutral, Sperma, corre- 
spondent to salt and water ; negative, Fe- 
20 



Cfje f|olp Critutp 



male, correspondent to mercury and earth, 
the fourth dimension of which is Ether. 
This is known as the Holy Ghost, or the 
Third Person in the Trinity, the kingdom 
upon which the left foot is set. 

In the Air Trinity, or fourth dimension 
of Man, the right lobe of the brain is known 
as Adam, — positive or material man ; neu- 
tral, Tincture (gray matter), while the left 
lobe of the brain, or Eve, is negative or spir- 
itual nature. The fourth dimension of this 
Trinity is known as Master or Christos, which 
being interpreted means the Messenger of 
Light. 

This gives you the solution of the saying 
in the " Sermon on the Mount : " "Ye are 
the salt of the earth: but if the salt have 
lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted ? 
it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be 
cast out, and to be trodden under foot of 
men." 

In this Trinity we have three breathings : 
Air (Fire), through the nostrils ; Electricity 
(Water), through the feet (see Rev. x. 1), 
21 



Cfje flolp Crttutp 



and Ether (Earth), through the hands, these 
three giving us the fourth dimension, which 
is known as the Master Breath, or the Fourth 
Dimension of the Holy Trinity. 

The difference between a man and a 
planet (as regards dimension) is this: man 
is foursquare, while a planet is round. Start- 
ing with the first part of the square, man 
lives in a physical atmosphere, so he is phy- 
sical in expression, physical in law, and phy- 
sical even in his mentality, anomalous as 
that may seem. Did you ever walk down 
the street with a person who was oblivious to 
everything which appealed to your sense- of 
beauty ? How can you explain this ? The 
man is simply so bound to the material that 
he is deaf, dumb, and blind to all else, 
wrapped up in the physical senses, keenly 
alive to " the main chance," but absolutely 
destitute of mental taste. 

The electric age is the second breathing. 
Man, in the electric age, stands under the law 
of vibrations. He gets an idea, and hypno- 
tizes himself so that he really cannot change 
22 



%ty flolp Crinttp 



until that spell of hypnosis is broken. The 
next man may be intensely vibrant, and 
wants to get everywhere at once. Take a 
business man, and try to talk to him about 
some project of your own ; he asks you, " Is 
there any money in it ? " " No." " Well, 
good day ; " and he is off. He is between 
the fires all the time, attracted to this plan 
because he may get a little gain from it, 
then to that one for the same reason. 

Then we come to the man in the ether age. 
One side of the ether age is what we call the 
sleepy stage ; the bottom seems to have fallen 
out of everything, and you feel that you 
know nothing. Next, the ether becomes ex- 
pressed, and then you grasp ideas like a flash, 
but cannot talk about them. Everything in 
the realm of ideas seems clear to you, but 
when you try to express it, it is all gone. 
This is the working of the law of silence. 

When you pass from the ether age, you 
come to the power of the Master, when you 
can grasp any subject, and at the same time 
have the gift of explaining it to others. 
23 



Cije flolp Crinttp 



Everything starts with the first age, goes 
through the second age, through the third 
age, and lastly to that of the Master. These 
are the four angels that hold the four corners 
of the earth. What does John say about the 
temple being built ? " The city of the new 
Jerusalem lay foursquare." That is man 
when he has the four great forces squared 
within him, when he commences to be some- 
thing, and knows the OM breath. 

Adam was created in the law of air, male 
and female physical; the duality is created 
in ether, then the Master comes. 

Now as man is made foursquare, so was 
Solomon's temple made foursquare. Inside 
of the temple we have the tabernacle, and 
inside of that we have the ark of the cheru- 
bim and seraphim, or the Holy of Holies. 
Man has his outside which is Gentile ; then 
the inside or middle court of the Jew, which 
is the inside law of himself ; then his Holy 
of Holies where he becomes a high priest 
after the order of Melchizedek, officiating, 
himself, in the Law of Life.

CHAPTER IV 



EZEKIEl/s WHEEL 



THE Book of Ezekiel is the algebra of 
life. Ezekiel's wheel is the foundation 
of astrology, and is not intended for a for- 
tune-teller, but as a compass for the psychical 
development of man. 

In this wheel, we have six great senses in 
the head of man. These represent the male 
and female of physical man, the male and 
female of physical woman, and the male and 
female (or the Adam and Eve) of the brain, 
making six great senses which form man. 
The seventh represents the Solar Plexus, the 
House of Libra, — the balances indicating 
that the head forces, or two angels, should 
be balanced at the plexus point. Five senses 
are represented as being in the feet. Physi- 
cal man is likened unto a picture taken in a 

25 



caters Wtyti 



camera. The object sits upright when its 
image is reflected in the camera, but when 
this image is received upon the sensitive 
plate, it is reversed, and we see the object up- 
side down; therefore physical senses which 
should have been in the feet are governing 
the brain of man, causing conflicting emo- 
tions : anger, jealousy, hatred, and kindred 
conditions. 

The colors given in Ezekiel's wheel repre- 
sent the different expressions of heat as they 
come upon a bar of steel. 

1st : Red, relatively Blood. 

2d : Blue, relatively Flesh, 

3d : Yellow, relatively Seeing. 

4th : Green, relatively Hearing. 

5th : Brown, relatively Taste. 

6th : Orange, relatively Touch. 

7th : Purple, relatively Smell. 

John tells us that flesh and blood do not 
inherit the kingdom of heaven, therefore we 
cut off the first two senses, and the remain- 
ing five represent the senses that are assigned 
to the animal kingdom, — the physical man, — 
26 



Caters Wtytl 



and are the senses that he must transform in 
order to become an illuminate. 

He also tells us that the first shall be last, 
therefore : — 

Red and Blue make Purple, or the Sense 
of Smell. 

The Seventh becometh the Eighth and 
passes into Perdition. 

The Eighth sense is a dual sense, giving 
us positiveness as the first expression which 
must pass away, and bringing to us the Law 
of Command which can never be given 
otherwise than by Love. 

The Sixth, Orange — Touch, becomes the 
Ninth, — Affirmation. 

The Fifth, Brown — Taste, becomes the 
Tenth, — Realization. 

The Fourth, Green — Hearing, becomes 
the Eleventh, — Concentration. 

The Third, Yellow — Seeing, becomes the 
Twelfth, Consciousness ; making the first 
sense express the last and the last the first. 

The five animal senses are known as the 
five foolish virgins in the parable ; the five 
27 



C?efetel'a Wtytl 



illuminated senses are known as the five wise 
virgins, who had oil in their lamps and went 
in to the supper, described in the parable as 
going in unto the marriage feast of the Son 
of Man. The five physical senses are the 
five talents given to a man, from which he 
makes five more, becoming governor over ten 
cities, or, in other words, commanding the 
ten virgins. The two senses — seeing and 
hearing — are two talents given to a man, 
who with these makes two more (Concentra- 
tion and Consciousness), thus having four 
cities to govern. The man of the blood and 
flesh is the man who had one talent and 
wrapped it in a napkin, and buried it in the 
earth. When he came with the others to 
give an account of his use of that which had 
been bestowed upon him, the talent was taken 
from him and given to the man who had ten 
talents. This is the cultivation of the sense 
of justice that every human being has in 
him, the ten great sense centres which are 
below the neck, and of which he must be- 
come governor before he can have more. 
28 



enters Wfytti 



The five illuminated senses are the five 
loaves of bread with which Jesus fed the 
multitude, and the two fishes, represented as 
Pisces in the horoscope of evolution, are 
known as Understanding and Wisdom. The 
first five of these represent the five great 
races : black being negative or negro ; the 
white, positive; the red, the Indian; blue, 
the Kurds and Malays ; and yellow the Orien- 
tals. All of these races can be fed by the 
word of Jesus. The remainder that was left 
was twelve basketfuls, or the twelve great 
forces that are represented in Ezekiel's wheel. 

Cain is represented as Blood. 

His wife is Flesh. 

Enoch is Seeing. 

Irad is Hearing. 

Mehujael is Taste. 

Methusael is Touch. 

Lamech is Smell. 
"He who kills Cain, his punishment shall 
be sevenfold ; " in other words, if he abuses 
his life forces by any manner of means, he 
becomes an idiot and a degenerate, which is 
29 



C?efctel'ai m>ttl 



the true mark of Cain. He who kills Lamech, 
his punishment shall be seventy times seven ; 
that is, he shall lose the seventy great senses 
of man, which represent the spiritual nature 
of man, and its seven stages of consciousness. 
Lamech took unto himself two wives : Adah 
— or positive physical beauty, and Zillah — 
or love and command. To Adah were born 
Jabal and Jubal. Jabal was the father of 
those that dwell in tents, meaning, to you, 
the sense of affirmation, or the power to rise 
up and free yourself from the lower condi- 
tions of bondage and superstition. Jubal 
means the sense of harmony that you must 
realize. Jubal was the teacher of all on the 
harp and organ, — the sense of harmony 
which rules your physical body, with which 
you must come in touch. Tubal-Cain, the 
sense of concentration, is the son of Zillah ; 
he was the instructor of all in brass and iron. 
Tubal-Cain is concentration, which draws all 
of the great nerve centres, so that they be- 
come tools with which to build the great 
Temple of Solomon. Naamah, the sister of 
30 



caters Wtyti 



Tubal-Cain, is consciousness. These, with 
understanding and wisdom, represent the 
fourteen stations of the Cross, in the Eoman 
Catholic Church. They also represent the 
first fourteen generations, from Abraham to 
David, that are enumerated in the first chap- 
ter of Matthew. The second generations, 
the fourteen from David to the carrying away 
into Babylon, are the human soul senses, and 
the third fourteen are the divine soul senses. 
The brief outline given in this chapter 
will, if intelligently studied from a spiritual, 
non-material standpoint, give you an alge- 
braic formula by which may be solved every 
problem, simple or intricate, that may con- 
front you on the journey to Infinity.

CHAPTEK V 

THE PYRAMID OF LIFE 

THE Pyramids of Egypt were built to 
preserve the knowledge of the Law of 
the Trinity, to leave to future generations an 
expression of the great laws which are exist- 
ent in nature. They represent a man stand- 
ing upon the earth. 

The planet upon which he stands is made 
up of the forces of Fire, Water, Air, and 
Earth. 

Fire and Water are known as the great 
masculoid, and Air and Earth as the great 
femaloid, of the universe. Fire is the male 
and water is the female of man. 

Fire and Water, without Air and Earth, 

constitute Cosmic Energy. Air and Earth, 

without heat and moisture, form a desert.

of the earth, male and female separately, in 
an atmosphere called air. 

The male gives to the female the mascu- 
loid, and the female gives to the male the 
femaloid, which makes it a law as fixed as 
the universe, that man does not exist without 
the woman, nor the woman without the man. 

Upon the plane of the psychical law, the 
brain is brought into expression, the right 
side active and the left side passive ; other- 
wise Adam and Eve. 

When the right side of the brain, which 
is Adam, has been put to sleep by the Con- 
centration, and Eve, the left side, is awak- 
ened, then the mind manifests the psychic or 
human soul ; therefore, mind is the atmos- 
phere in which the psychic or human soul 
has its expression. 

When the left brain has developed the 
forces of ether, which have been taken to it 
through the left foot and brought into the 
left brain, overshadowing it, that brain then 
becomes the Virgin Mary, and the Immacu- 
late Conception takes place, so that Thought, 
S3 



%\t ^ramtti of %ik 

the Son of Man, is made manifest. Now 
thought is an atmosphere in which the divine 
soul moves and has its being. 

The divine soul is light, and light is God 
manifest from the absolute darkness, or the 
ether non-manifest. 

The first four elemental expressions are 
represented in the Hindoo philosophy as 
force and violence, law and justice ; in other 
words, Karma Yoga. Karma Yoga is the 
first four days of the first chapter of Gen- 
esis. 

In the second plane, or physical man, male 
and female are united in love. This is 
known in Hindoo philosophy as the Bhatka 
Yoga. (Genesis i. 27.) 

The third plane is known in Hindoo phi- 
losophy as Gnana Yoga, or union of active 
and passive mind. (Genesis ii. 7.) 

The fourth plane is known as Eaja Yoga, 
or the union of male and female in the 
divine, or the expression of the great soul of 
life. (Genesis v. 1, 2.) 

Jesus, speaking in his parable concerning 
34 



%ty ^ratntti of Htfe 

the kingdom of heaven, referred to the argu- 
ment of the Sadducees. (Matthew xxii. 23- 
30.) The answer to this was what all Yogis 
would make, namely, that there was neither 
marrying nor giving in marriage, but that all 
were as the angels in heaven. 

The Pyramids of Egypt were built to show 
that the three manifest trinities, or the third 
trinity, would bring to you a fourth dimen- 
sion, making the fourth in the Formless 
Four, teaching us the law of the fourth di- 
mension and what it means in the expression 
of life. 

The student must bear in mind continu- 
ally that spiritual truths can only be compre- 
hended spiritually, not through or upon the 
plane of intellect ; the latter must be trans- 
muted by means of the subtle law of alchemy 
(learned in concentration and meditation) to 
the higher, purer sphere of spiritual eleva- 
tion, — the apex of the Pyramid of Life.

CHAPTEE VI 



THE SERPENT OF MOSES 



AS Moses lifted up the serpent in the 
wilderness, so shall the Son of Man be 
lifted up, that whosoever looketh unto him 
shall be saved." Moses is the type of the 
law of magnetic currents that run through 
physical man. Physical man, belonging to 
the water trinity, is electric in force and 
magnetic in attraction. His quality is that 
of a superior animal, selfish and full of all 
physical fleshly senses that govern him. The 
law of Moses covers man physically; his 
conduct merely in relation to marriage is the 
law of the kingdom of the earth. 

John typifies the serpent of Moses as that 
old dragon, the devil, that is locked up in 
the bottomless pit. 

Humanity has itself to blame for all the 
36 



FIERY 



Stilphu

%ty Serpent of Jftosesi 

conditions of evil, ignorance, and darkness, 
on account of the gross selfishness that is 
expressed by the different franchises, in their 
endeavors to put bonds, as taxes and tithes, 
upon the backs of the people. This being 
the case, it is necessary for you to under- 
stand why it is that the physical cross was 
raised up first. As every crude condition 
comes first to express itself, so the law that 
Jesus expressed was misrepresented by those, 
blindly or otherwise, who wished to use it to 
bind mankind. 

The concentrating of humanity upon the 
physical Jesus and the material cross, under 
bond of the fear of death, hell, and damna- 
tion, is not the word of Christ but the word 
of the priesthood, that has sought to hold 
the people in ignorance of the law of life. 

The serpent is a type of the law of vibra- 
tion, as it is the first expression of life above 
ground, and is the most perfect. It repre- 
sents, in man, the muscular system. The 
staff upon which it is twined is the bone 
structure of man. The twinings of the ser- 

37 



%ty Serpent of Jfloses 

pent around the staff, with the five different 
centres, represent the different nerve centres 
or " tatwies," as known to the Hindoos, and 
as these are five in number, so the twinings 
of the serpent make five. 

If there is an honest desire to raise the 
standard of humanity from crime, degener- 
acy, ignorance, idolatry, and lunacy, the peo- 
ple must be taught that it lies in their power, 
through purity of thought and action, to 
produce the perfect change that can express 
the harmony of the Law of Life. 

In order to produce perfect thought, we 
must come to the dual serpent, which is 
known as the Serpent of Christ. In this we 
have a staff with two serpents wound around 
it, and we see the same symbol, therefore the 
cross of Christ represents the dual nature, or 
those five senses which were symbolized in 
the five coils of the first serpent being made 
into ten, that is, the five duplicated. It is 
in man's power to duplicate these senses, and 
they become established centres. 

The first two great centres, known as the 
38 



ILLUMINATION 



Sulphu 



Salt 



Mercury 




Ci)e Serpent of JEoses 

earth tatwics, or earth nerve centres, are in 
the ankles. The tail of the serpent comes 
directly in the centre of the heel, and, ac- 
cording to the symbol, you will notice that 
they have the mercury of the water kingdom, 
and the female of the kingdom of the earth. 

At the knees, we have the water trinity 
expressed, this being known as the salt or 
sperma. 

At the reins, we have the fire trinity ex- 
pressed, this being the sulphur in the male. 

At the solar plexus, the horizon line of 
the earth in man, we have the trinity of air, 
the Son, and the Holy Ghost. 

At the shoulders, we have the great nerve 
centres, known as the ether tatwics. 

These give us the ten great cities, or ten 
great nerve centres, over which man must be 
commander. 

The two serpents' heads are in the lower 
brain, known as the cerebellum. 

As ether was recognized as the great Mo- 
ther of the universe, so it was typified by 
the Virgin Mary, and when man gets the 
39 



%ty Serpent of JEoses 

law of the Holy Ghost, or ether, through 
him, it brings him male and female within 
himself, and gives him the expression of 
duality, which is always the Mystic's great 
law. The duality, or the twined serpents, 
when they have become harmonized in man, 
bring to him the kingdom of heaven, and 
the product of that kingdom being the Son 
of Man, we say, " The Son of Man comes to 
seek and to save those which are lost." 

We see, therefore, in this symbol of the 
serpents, not the possibility only, but the ab- 
solute necessity, of gaining conscious control 
of each and every nerve centre, in order to 
bring about such an harmonious condition 
that the Son of Man, the Divine Christos, 
may be expressed in us, thus regenerating or 
" saving " us.

CHAPTER VII 

THE PERSIAN PARANASHAD 

THE Persian Paranashad is the Chart of 
Life, and is one of the oldest symbols 
in the world. This chapter is designed to 
show you the law concerning it in regard to 
its direct association with modern phrenology. 
In phrenology, the faculties that lie in the 
head are divided into two sets, thirty-five 
in one and seven in the other, making forty- 
two faculties; double those and you have 
eighty-four, which is the number of the Pa- 
ranashad. 

The two thirty-fives of the higher faculties 
are the seventy soul senses that you destroy 
if you till Lamech, while seven and seven 
are the fourteen qualities you destroy if you 
till Cain. Thus the Paranashad has seven cir- 
cles, which are tnown as the seven times that 
41 



Cfje $eratatt $atattasfmTi 

you march around Jericho, and the walls 
fall. These senses are put here to show you 
how man develops himself. 

The first trinity is Shadrach, the Son of 
Fire, the physical senses of the fire trinity. 

The second is Meshach, the Son of Water, 
symbolizing the flow of speech. 

The third is Abednego, the Son of Earth. 

The fourth is the Soul, which appears in 
the furnace that is heated seven times. 

Shadrach runs from one to seven ; Meshach 
from twenty-one to twenty-eight ; Abednego 
from fourteen to twenty-one, and the fourth 
man from seven to fourteen. 

These are the three times seven that every 
man has in the law of male and female. The 
power of sperma, the power of the gray matter 
in the brain, fire, water, earth, air, and the 
mineral elements are all in his physical being, 
in order that he may express the soul ele- 
ments that make a man. Yet, it is often 
said that phrenology is a modern branch of 
study ! 

The upper brain senses are known in the 
42 



%ty Persian $arattaj$ati 

law as the clean animals and birds in the 
Ark, and each is sevenfold in power ; there- 
fore, seven times seven, or forty-nine positive 
powers in the law, are lost by the man who 
will not turn his forces up to the brain, to 
utilize them for higher thought. 

The difference between modern 'phrenology 
and that of the Bible is, that phrenologists 
are just gradually re-discovering the founda- 
tions of life, while the Bible goes right back 
to the foundation. The investigations that 
scientific men are pursuing to-day are leading 
them over the same ground traversed by 
scientists in past ages. The foremost scien- 
tists of the day are wondering whether they 
have six senses or not. I do not wonder at 
this, as they do not manifest any of them ; 
they have them, but they do not appreciate 
their higher uses. 

I have listened to men giving lectures who 
had five senses of which they were conscious, 
but were ignorant that they had seven ; that 
is as far as they had progressed in the law of 
psychology. 

43 



Ci)e $ei#tatt $atanasfmti 

To know the law of blood, you have to 
pass through the fire of blood, that is, you 
have to cross the Red Sea ; when you have 
passed through that, you become master of 
your passions. You have also learned to 
know your " soul-mate," that it is in your- 
self ; you know your own law and your own 
power, and no longer waste your time and 
energy in vain conjecture. 

In order to pass over the Eed Sea, you 
have to awaken Moses. He floated on the 
River Nile ; that is where Moses is found in 
you, when Common Sense floats upon the 
River of Life. Moses has to be educated ; 
then he has to slay the Egyptian in the dark- 
ness, after which he finds that one of his 
own people (senses) will betray him. Keep 
your law of silence always, because telling 
the truth to the rabble (that is, casting your 
pearls before swine) will always result in 
your crucifixion, as they are not really look- 
ing for the truth, but for that which will flat- 
ter their own conceit. 

The Egyptian represents ignorance, dark- 
44 



%ty Persian ^aratiasfrnti 

ness. When you lift the senses up through 
the blood, ignorance is the first foe you en- 
counter, then you commence your journey 
across the wilderness, where you learn the 
psychic law. 

Before you get through the blood energy, 
you will learn that psychic law is a trick of 
the mind, or Moses battling with the Egyp- 
tian magicians. 

When you go through the River Jordan, 
you have taken hold of the higher senses of 
man : the Cain senses. Then you pass on 
through the power of seeing ; at that time, 
you need to be careful to let every one else 
alone, while you keep on by yourself ; you 
can see and understand things then, but will 
not want to talk about them. 

Then you attain the power of hearing, 
when voices come to you, and you think you 
are talking to some one, but it is really the 
voice of your soul. 

Then follows the power of taste, at which 
point the physical man is re-born, and builds 
up. 

45 



C|je Persian $aranasfmt> 

On gaining the true power of touch, you 
are able to feel the finest vibrations go 
through your whole being. 

The power of smell is reached when the 
law becomes a sweet odor to you, because 
you understand it thoroughly. 

While you are working through these 
senses, you must keep in mind what Paul 
said to the Corinthians, that though you have 
all knowledge and the gift of prophecy, and 
understand all mysteries, yet if you have not 
the proper law of love (charity), it will pro- 
fit you nothing. All is darkness; it can be 
done, but it will amount to nothing until you 
get the law. Suppose a man has committed 
an error in life, has done something wrong 
by mistake ; it takes a powerful person to 
come up out of error. Heaven is made up 
of men and women who have erred, and of 
people who know what the other side is. 
When, after committing wrong, they have 
been taught their lesson, and are brought 
out of error, they understand what is meant 
by " There is more rejoicing in heaven over 
46 



Cfje Persian ^paranastmti / j 



one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety 
and nine just people who need no repent- 
ance." This fire refines you from every kind 
of dross. That is what is meant in the Bible 
where it says : " Though your sins be as 
scarlet, they shall be white as wool." 

There are seventy senses after you obtain 
the first fourteen. The first fourteen are 
Peter's X-rays. They are the forces which 
have to be trained. The Persian Paranashad 
teaches you the law of sense. If you wish 
to make a man see what he is, take him to 
the Paranashad, and show him what he can 
be. Show him that it is all possible for him- 
self, if he will only work for it. 

There are twenty-eight expressions, that 
is, the seven senses of man expressed four 
times, and 28 is the number of m-a-n; that 
is, not the man expressed, but the twenty- 
eight principles a man possesses. When 
you put 1 before 28, it makes 128, and in 
that number you have man with his twenty- 
eight principles expressed. 184 means that 
the entire Paranashad is expressed in one 

47 



Cfie Persian ^aranasfmti 

man, and he has become the "I am/' ex- 
pressing the twenty-eight principles of the 
law. If he says : "lama man/' he has 
expressed twenty-eight principles; if he says: 
" I am an individual/' he has expressed eighty- 
four principles ; if he says : u I am a Di- 
vinity/' he has become an Ego. When he 
has passed through an Ego, and stepped 
upon another plane, he is an entity of the 
entire law expressed as life. This entity is 
greater than an Ego, the Ego is greater than 
the " I am," the " I am " is greater than the 
person, the person is greater than a physical, 
the physical is greater than an animal, and 
the animal is greater than an elemental. Man 
goes through these great courses of the law 
in order that he may express, or come up 
step by step into the " I am " of the Law. 

Moses was master of the mind. In the 
fifth book of the Bible, — Deuteronomy, — it 
says that Moses was 120 years old when he 
went up into Mount Pisgah, where he died. 
He was perfect in his law. He spent 40 
years in the Fire of Mind, and 80 years in 
48 



Cfje $em'an -paranasfjatr 

the Fire of the Law, which makes 120, and 
by that time he had gained his centre. He 
was full of life and energy, which is the heri- 
tage of man, if he understands and lives the 
Law. 

This chapter on the Paranashad is intended 
not merely as a single lesson for one cursory 
reading, but to furnish ample material for 
days and weeks of study. Complete diges- 
tion and assimilation of its message to the 
student will build not only the physical, but 
the mental and spiritual. 



49 



CHAPTER VIII 

THE VIBRATION OF AN ADEPT 

THE vibration of an adept is described by 
John, in Revelation x., as the sixth 
angel: "And I saw another mighty angel 
come down from heaven, clothed with a 
cloud." This cloud comes around you in 
time of concentration, and is the life forces 
being drawn back into your physical body. 
These life forces, in the person who is not 
concentrated, are wasted, therefore he grows 
old on account of the loss of energy, which 
should have been preserved in order to keep 
him young and vigorous. 

In the expression, " A rainbow was upon 
his head," the rainbow represents the colors 
of the senses made manifest in the brain. 
Then the phrase, " And his face was as it 
were the sun," is a representation of the sun

breath or " OM," and the earth breath or 
" Yehva ; " this brings the soul light to the 
eye and makes illumination in the human 
being. 

" His feet as pillars of fire " refers to the 
electrical breath, which when used properly 
causes the feet to become intensely warm. 

" He had in his hand a little book open " 
represents the opening of the soul, so that 
man can know for himself the Law. 

" And he set his right foot upon the sea, 
and his left foot upon the earth ; " this is 
the force of the electrical energy which rises 
up in the right foot, the fourth dimension of 
the water trinity. 

The force of ether rising up through the 
left foot, by the use of the bandage, is known 
as the Holy Ghost ; he set that foot upon 
the earth, as the force of ether is the fourth 
dimension of the earth trinity. 

" And cried with a loud voice as when a 
lion roareth " represents to us the spirit of 
the " OM," which causes the forces of life to 
be expressed in you. 

51 



Cije TcTttoatt'ott of an &&ept 

" And when he had cried, seven thunders 
uttered their voices/' and John said, " I was 
about to write, and the angel said unto me, 
Seal up those things which the seven thun- 
ders uttered, and write them not." This 
shows us that any phenomenal conditions 
which might be expressed within you should 
never be spoken of, as you have no power 
over such conditions, nor can you tell any- 
thing of them, or give any tangible evidence 
of their cause ; therefore, you mislead people 
when you talk of them. So-called spiritual- 
ists, who are merely using mental forces, 
delude people with the idea that it is a spir- 
itual law. 

In order to develop in this work, we must 
know and obey the Law of Silence ; in other 
words, we must, as John said, seal up these 
things and write them not. 

In " And he lifted up his hand to heaven," 
the hand symbolizes power, and when we lift 
our power up to the highest thought, by con- 
centration, we can swear by Him who created 
the heavens and the things that therein are, 
52 



Cfje "OTratton of an 9tt5ept 

and the earth and the things that therein 
are, and by the waters and the things that 
are therein. 

This great symbol manifest in you is of 
the same quality of senses as light or fire, 
and is represented by the birds that enter 
into the ark, which means the spiritual senses 
which are within you, seven of each. 

The earth represents the clean beasts and 
those conditions which are to be expressed, 
and which are in the upper portion of the 
ark, or upper portion of the brain. When 
we have transmuted our physical life fluid 
into the gray matter of the brain, thus arriv- 
ing at illumination, we then can swear with 
John's angel, that there should be time no 
longer. 

"But in the days of the seventh angel, when 
he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God 
should be finished; " this symbolizes to us that 
after we have concentrated and breathed elec- 
tricity and ether until our souls have become 
opened to us, the mystery of life shall be 
cleared up, being no longer a mystery, but 
53 



Cfje TOtation of an ^tiept 

an open page for us to read, and the mys- 
tery of God shall be no longer, as was taught 
by the prophets. 

And John said, " The angel told me to go 
and take the little book that was in the hand 
of the angel that standeth upon the sea and 
upon the earth. And I went up to the angel, 
and said to him, Give me the little book. And 
the angel said unto me, Take it, and eat it 
up ; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it 
shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey." So, 
whenever we eat the book of life, or, in other 
words, know what the truth of life is, it casts 
out cherished idols, all previous ideas, all 
things that have been tried, and makes known 
to us the truth that it is not ideas but reali- 
ties which lead us up into the highest Law. 

He said, " I took the little book out of 
the angel's hand, and ate it up ; and it was in 
my mouth sweet as honey : and as soon as I 
had eaten it my belly was bitter. And he 
said unto me, Thou must prophesy again be- 
fore many peoples, and nations, and tongues, 
and kings." This means to you that we need 
54 



Cfje TOratton of an 9foept 

have no fear when we speak the truth ; we are 
called upon to speak it to the highest and 
lowest alike : it makes no difference which. 

The summing up of this great symbol 
gives us vibration of Harmony in order that 
the Divine soul may express itself. 

The electrical and magnetic current rising 
up through the right foot, crossing over to 
the left breast, and then crossing over to the 
right lobe of the brain, teaches us the law 
which keeps us active and full of life and 
vigor. On the other hand, ether — rising 
up through the left foot (Ether being the 
great Mother of the Universe) — teaches us 
another law, namely, that man cannot express 
purity, or love, or truth, until the great 
Mother has expressed through him. 

A magnet will attract iron and steel. If 
we have in a saucer iron tailings, steel filings, 
and gold dust, we discover that by passing 
a magnet through the mixture, the baser 
metals stick to the magnet, but the gold does 
not. On the other hand, as the ether force 
is centred in mercury, the miners use mer- 

55 



C$e Wtatfott of an 9tt»ept 

cury to catch gold, as the mercury will not 
attract iron or any other base metal. 

The streets of the new Jerusalem are paved 
with gold, clear as crystal, and when we have 
paved our lives with truth gathered by the 
ether, the Holy Ghost, our brain shall no 
longer be filled with tailings and filings of 
error, but shall attract only the pure gold 
of spiritual knowledge until it become as a 
crystal.

CHAPTER IX 

THE SEVEN SONS OF FOHAT (UNIVERSE) 

THE Seven Sons of Fohat represent the 
seven universal forces. The first force 
of Fohat, Darkness, is a positive ; Repulsion 
is a neutral; and Cold is the negative. Ne- 
gation is the quality, and Death the result. 

The second Son of Fohat has as an oppo-

negative is Heat, and its quality is Manifes- 
tation. Life is the result. 

The third Son of Fohat is Fire as the 
positive (being produced between Darkness 
and Light) ; Water, the neutral (produced 
between Eepulsion and Attraction) ; Earth, 
the negative (between Cold and Heat) ; Air, 
the quality between Negation and Manifes- 
tation, giving us the planet known as " Of 
God the Father."

The fourth Son of Fohat expresses in the 
form of Mineral Energy, of which Sulphur 
is the positive, correspondent to Fire ; Salt 
is the neutral, correspondent to Water, gov- 
erned by Attraction and Repulsion; Mer- 
cury, the negative, is correspondent to Earth, 
and governed by Heat and Cold. Electri- 
city is the quality, correspondent to Air, and 
governed by Negation and Manifestation. 
The result is the "Son of the Father." 

The fifth Son of Fohat is Male, as posi-

The Holy Ghost. 

The sixth Son of Fohat has as a positive 
Adam (the right lobe of the brain) ; Tinc-

brain) ; and Eve, the negative (the left lobe 
of the brain, the spiritual nature, the sym- 
pathetic system). Quality is the Master, 
and its result is the Christos . (Christ or Il- 
ium).

The main point to be derived from the 
above is embodied in the saying of Christ : 
" Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt 
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be 
salted?" This impresses upon us the im- 
portance of conserving the life forces by 
drawing them up to the brain (by Concen- 
tration), thus building the brain, causing the 
rebirth by transforming its substance from 
white to gray, from gray to clear crystal, 
making it the " sea of glass, mingled with 
fire," spoken of in Eevelation*

CHAPTER X 

THE UNSPEAKABLE WORD 

{The Sun Symbol) 

THE Unspeakable Word has, in all ages, 
been represented as the Sun with a 
face in it. The quotation in the 10th chap- 
ter of Eevelation gives us the key to this, 
where John speaks of the sixth angel whose 
face was as it were the sun. 

The most ancient Masonry of the world, 
known as the Midian Priesthood, had three 
different forms of worship. These culmi- 
nated in one great temple, known as the 
Temple of Solomon. This temple was built 
upon Mount Moriah. The first, or positive 
of the Word, is written upon the forehead : 
SOL. The neutral of the Word is written 
upon the right cheek : OM. The negative is 
written upon the left cheek : ON. 
60

The great priesthood of Egypt, formed 
by the Hycksos Kings, known as the House 
of Seti, gave to us the " Book of the Dead/' 
the keynote of Nature, and was known as 
the religion of OiV", meaning that the soul 
went on. Therefore, the Book of the Dead 
taught of a physical residence, — the body. 
The great priesthood of Brahmanism, teach- 
ing us to speak the neutral, OM (properly 
pronounced Aum), should give to us the 
secret of speaking the vibration under the 
brain, sending it up through the centre of 
the brain, in order to bring the brain into 
action or vibration. 

The great positive is known as Jewish, or 
the worship of SOL or SUN. 

Placing the three syllables together so as 
to make one word, SOLOMON, shows how 
the Word was derived, giving a temple in 
which the three forms of worship could be 
manifested. 

Solomon's Temple was built with an outer 
court for the Gentiles, a middle court for the 



61 



Jews, and the inner court (Holy of Holies) 
for the High Priest. 

Printed upon the chin is the WORD, 
YEHVA (Jehovah). This Word is supposed 
to be a word never to be spoken aloud. . The 
vibration of the Word should be accom- 
plished without speaking audibly, therefore 
its proper vibration is by the two lower 
brains drawing the abdomen and the energies 
upward. 

It may be well, at this point, to remind 
the reader that it is not possible, without 
oral instruction, to give adequate advice re- 
garding the various exercises and breathings 
which are necessary in each individual case, 
in order to build little by little this Tem- 
ple of Solomon, into which the regenerated 
Soul may withdraw behind the veil which 
separates the middle court from the Holy 
of Holies.

CHAPTER XI 

EVOLUTION AND INVOLUTION 

EVOLUTION, in this study, means the 
beginning or quickening of growth in 
the upper brain. This vibration is known 
as Adam, therefore it is stated in Genesis ii. 
8 : " And the Lord God planted a garden 
eastward in Eden ; and there he put the man 
whom he had formed." 

In order to get the bearings, have in mind, 
that looking out through the eyes, that is the 
North ; the back of the head is the South ; 
the right lobe of the brain is East, and the 
left lobe the West. Therefore the sun's rays 
are constantly dawning to the eastward, so 
the forces of life go into the right brain 
first ; the quickening of the right brain fol- 
lows ; then the quickening of the left brain, 



63 



evolution anti 3f tftoltitton 

to come into harmony with the right, sets the 
wheel of evolution in motion. 

From Adam and Eve we get Cain and 
Abel ; these terms in algebraic expression 
correspond to Fire (Adam), Water (Eve), 
Earth (Cain), and Air (Abel). Adam's leav- 
ing the Garden of Eden means the magnetic 
currents dropping out of the upper brain. 

The family of Cain is known as the pro- 
duct or progeny of Fire energy in the physi- 
cal : in other words, the development and en- 
lightenment of the physical senses. These 
assert themselves in the lower right hand cere- 
bellum. Now the children of Cain are cor- 
respondent to Ezekiel's Wheel. 

Your attention is called to the fact that 
Adam and Eve are brought into play to ex- 
press Seth and Enos ; this means to you that 
the upper brain brings into birth Understand- 
ing and Wisdom, which govern the lower 
physical senses. The slaying of Abel is 
simply the action of the magnetic energy, 
which overpowers the left lower brain, or 
Abel. In turn, the ether energy establishes 
64 



evolution anti fntoolutton 

itself (in Concentration) in the left hemi- 
sphere of the cerebellum, making the left 
brain wife to Cain, as the cerebellum is the 
Land of Nod (Darkness) into which Cain 
wandered. 

The second set of senses are those known 
as the Human Soul senses, the children of the 
second Adam, running in line as follows : 
Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, 
Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. 

Noah has three sons : Shem, Ham, and 
Japheth. As Ezekiel's Wheel represents 
twelve or the twelve children of Cain, so the 
wheel of involution represents the children 
of the second Adam, in full number, twelve, 
this including Noah's sons. These are the 
twenty-four elders that bow before the throne 
of God. 

Therefore we read of eight people going 
into the Ark, built by Noah. Noah means 
Nature. That gives us the physical senses 
of evolution and the human senses of involu- 
tion. Noah and his wife, Shem and his wife, 
Ham and his wife, and Japheth, with his wife, 

65 



evolution atrt) ftrtjolutton 

represent the great octave of senses that 
enter into the physical of man when he has 
developed his body properly. 

So, too, we are told that the Ark received 
all of the animal kingdom, male and female, 
clean and unclean, and all the fowl of the 
heavens, male and female. This is the brain 
of man, having all the desires, tendencies, 
and traits of the different expressions of 
those creatures. 

As the Ark floated upon the waters, so 
man should rest upon the bosom of mind 
undisturbed by the influences and forces of 
creature creation, until he rests his Ark upon 
Ararat. That is, the fourth dimension (Ark), 
the physical body, made perfect by Nature 
(Noah), rests upon the first Adam, then Abel 
and the second Adam. In Kabala, this 
would read thus : 1st Adam (Right), 2d 
Adam (Right), 3d Adam (Thought), or Ar- 
Ar-At, Ararat. 

The Brahman religion carries us to the 
love of the human, expressed in kindness to 
the animal kingdom. When the Ark rests 
66 



evolution an* J ntooltttton 

upon Ararat and the door is open, and Noah 
leaves the Ark with his wife, this means 
Noah (Eight Belief), with his negative (wife 
— Right Thought) ; Shem and his wife are 
Right Concentration and Right Meditation ; 
Ham and his wife, Right Breathing and 
Right Living ; therefore Japheth and his wife 
are Right Loving and Right Light. This is 
known to the Buddhist as the eight great 
senses which bring us to the proper state of 
bliss or Nirvana. 

" And the sons of Noah (nature) that went 
forth of the ark, were Shem (concentration), 
and Ham (breathing), and Japheth (love): 
and Ham is the father of Canaan (brain). 

"These are the three sons of Noah (na- 
ture) : and of them was the whole earth over- 
spread. 

" And Noah (nature) began to be an hus- 
bandman, and he planted a vineyard : and 
he drank of the wine (inspiration), and was 
drunken ; and he was uncovered within his 
tent. 

" And Ham (breathing), the father of Ca- 

67 



evolution atrt) fntailttttoti 

naan (brain), saw the nakedness of his father, 
and told his two brethren without. 

"And Shem (concentration) and Japheth 
(love) took a garment, and laid it upon both 
their shoulders, and went backward, and 
covered the nakedness of their father: and 
their faces were backward, and they saw not 
their father's nakedness. 

" And Noah (nature) awoke from his wine, 
and knew what his younger son had done 
unto him. 

" And he said, Cursed be Canaan (brain) ; 
a servant of servants shall he be unto his 
brethren. 

" And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of 
Shem (concentration); and Canaan (brain) 
shall be his servant. 

" God shall enlarge Japheth (love), and he 
shall dwell in the tents of Shem (concentra- 
tion) ; and Canaan (brain) shall be his ser- 
vant." (Genesis ix. 18-28.) 

Then we come to Abraham sitting at the 
door of his tent on the plains of Mamre 
(Memory). This means the conscious love 
68 



Cbolution attti Solution 

that comes to us when it has dawned upon 
us that the seventh angel (or 7th A) has re- 
vealed to us that the soul never was horn nor 
can it ever die. The child of that life is 
Isaac, and Isaac is the representation of man 
who has laid the physical and human down 
as a sacrifice to the Divine "Will, at which 
time he finds that he has given up the lesser 
in order to gain the greater. Isaac becomes 
the father of Jacob and Esau. Jacob is the 
type of the soul expressing, and Esau selling 
his birthright for a mess of pottage simply 
means the forces of the blood giving them- 
selves up to the higher brain energy. So 
Jacob works out his own salvation, repre- 
sented as practicing deceit upon his father. 
Jacob next rises and goes away into the wil- 
derness. This teaches the student the dawn 
of ambition to reach out into farther thought. 
In the sleep in the wilderness, after weary 
marching, he sees the ladder on which angels 
are ascending and descending. This gives 
us the picture of the student entering into a 
knowledge of the higher life. Then Jacob 
69 



Ctoolutton anti f trtjolutton 

makes a bargain with Laban to labor seven 
years for Rachel, and at the expiration of 
seven years he has to take Leah first. The 
student learns from this that he can in no 
wise lay hold of the spiritual (Rachel), until 
he has developed the physical or Leah. So 
we find Leah bearing children first, and 
Rachel afterward bearing children. The 
children of Jacob are the expression of the 
children of involution. Reuben is the first 
born : Aquarius — Water. Then follow 
Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, 
Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, and Benjamin 
(Ephraim and Manasseh). 

Ephraim and Manasseh represent the new 
land or the opening of the soul, into which 
are gathered all the children of the physical 
and human expression that come from the 
seven different stages of advancement, known 
as the seven principles of man : — 

First : Adam, Red Man. 

Second : Cain, Blue Man. 

Third : Enoch, Yellow Man. 

Fourth : Noah, Green Man.

Fifth : Abraham, Brown Man. 

Sixth : Isaac, Orange Man. 

Seventh : Jacob, Purple Man. 

Through these different stages man ex- 
presses until he comes out in the pure white 
light that corresponds to the crystal brain, 
the sea of glass, mentioned by John in Keve- 
lation. 



71 



CHAPTER XII 

RE-INCARNATION OF THE DIVINE SOUL 

THERE are three stages of expression: 
Creation, Re-Creation, and Re-Incar- 
nation. In the Bible, the kingdom of Crea- 
tion is known as Hiram of Tyre. Hiram of 
Tyre furnishes the forces that build Solo- 
mon's Temple. The earth's elements furnish 
the forces which build the physical man; 
from the earth there flow upward, the Hin- 
doo tells us, five rivers of life. These five 
rivers are represented as the five great senses, 
tatwic centres, the first of which is known as 
electric vibration ; this, in the higher senses, 
is represented by the sense of smell. It is 
the Trinity of Mineral Creation, or the seat 
of human expression; human reason and 
intellect, both of which are blind. 

The Trinity of Matter represents the sense 
72 



t\ON, OF 0/ 



*l 




/ 



3Mttcantatton 



of touch, and is the second river that flows 
upward. 

The River of Taste is known in other 
words as the River of Life, containing in it 
the condensed physical forces that express 
the seven great senses of life. 

The Trinity of Spirit, which is the fourth 
river that flows upward, represents the light 
of the earth, known as the sun rays, or 
Prana ; this is hearing. 

The Ether of the left limb, the fifth river 
which flows upward, represents creation, or 
the female qualities, or the sense of seeing. 

Commencing with Creation, John says : 
" He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
Spirit saith unto the churches." The seven 
churches to whom he was commanded to 
write represent the seven great senses, cor- 
responding to the seven colors, corresponding 
to the seven illuminated senses, and so on, 
into the different expressions of life. This 
is the first plane, Creation ; 'the mud at the 
bottom of the river. 

The next plane through which the five 
73 



Stefticarnatfon 



senses flow to the centre is represented as 
the plane of Water. This is known as the 
astral plane of the human soul, also as the 
re-creation plane, in philosophy, or, in other 
words, the plane of Incarnation. 

As the human seed, or human soul, is 
represented as Hiram Abiff, it therefore has 
the power to take on a physical body in the 
same way as the acorn has the power to take 
on a new form, or as has any new expression 
of the law of creation. 

When, in Concentration, you have cen- 
tred these five great Rivers of Life at the 
solar plexus, you have formed the Mount of 
Ararat upon which the ark rests. In Hin- 
doo philosophy, they place this as the seed 
of the Lotus which floats upon the surface of 
the water, while the roots sink down into the 
river bottom (or physical life forces), and 
then return from the mud, pass through the 
water, and reach out into sunshine, opening 
the petals in the light. 

Therefore, the student in studying this is 
introduced to Hiram Abiff, as it was he who 
74 



Steincaniatfoti 



had the power* of designing in metals. Solo- 
mon is the lily ; the soul expressed ; this is 
the principle known as Re-Inearnation. This 
occurs once and once only on this plane of 
life to any person. 

The senses of Solomon are just as natural 
to the soul as it is natural to the child to 
see, taste, smell, touch, or hear, physically. 
Therefore, the Aura of the lily represents the 
twelve great senses which are described as 
the sons of Jacob, in Genesis. 

The human soul is the neutral point, the 
seed ; therefore the human soul has the 
power of incarnating and incarnating a thou- 
sand or ten thousand times, as taught in 
philosophy, but when once the Divine Soul 
has expressed in re-incarnation, it never re- 
turns to the material sphere.
